The International Monetary Fund (IMF) demanded Ecuadorian authorities put an end to monetary financing as part of a support programme approved on March 11.

The central bank must not purchase bonds issued by publicly owned enterprises, or provide guarantees to the government, public agencies and any other state-owned agencies.
